Nebraska's 2026 Kickoff Times Revealed

Nebraska’s 2026 football schedule is lighting up under the lights—with two night games already locked in, plus strategic kickoff times designed to maximize TV exposure and manage travel. The Huskers kick off against Ohio at 11 a.m., then face Iowa at the same time in Iowa City, while non-conference matchups against Bowling Green and North Dakota hit the field at 6 p.m. and 6:15 p.m. respectively. Homecoming against Maryland on October 3rd won’t start later than 4 p.m., and the Friday night showdown with Illinois on November 6th is set for 7 p.m. on FOX. Last year’s prime-time record (3-3) and midday success (2-1) hint at how timing impacts outcomes, and this year’s slate looks more balanced. Big games like Oregon and Ohio State remain TBD, with details dropping 6-12 days before kickoff. It’s a chess match with networks—and fans are already tuning in.
